Inter come from behind: five comebacks in eight matches

Inter have recovered from losing positions in five of their first eight Serie A matches, earning 13 points from behind—mostly in the second half.

Inter have shown remarkable resilience this season, mounting five comebacks in their opening eight Serie A matches. The latest came against Fiorentina, when the Nerazzurri were still losing at 90 minutes before equalizing at 91 and winning 97 minutes in. In total, Inter have earned 13 points from losing positions, with only Roma managing to hold them to a draw; Napoli, Udinese, Bologna and Fiorentina all fell to their comebacks.

The pattern extends beyond individual matches. Inter have scored 11 of their 28 Serie A goals in the second half, with 19 total (68%) coming after the interval. Remarkably, 11 goals (39%) have arrived in the final 15 minutes. Coach Chivu's side maintain their physical intensity when opponents tire, allowing them to capitalize on late opportunities. In the Champions League, they've shown similar late-game prowess, scoring four of five goals in the final stages, though results have been mixed.

Chivu acknowledged the trend cannot continue indefinitely, predicting Inter will eventually pay the price for conceding early. The challenge ahead is to maintain defensive solidity while scoring earlier in matches, reducing the need for dramatic late rescues.
